Green Acton to hold first Drop/Swap event on May 1 at Conant School from 9am to 2pm

The Green Acton Drop/Swap will be on the same day as the annual Acton clean up day and hazardous waste day. Help your town, help your neighbors and help yourself to clean up and dispense with your unwanted items by passing them onto others who will use and appreciate them. It’s a win for everyone! Start cleaning out those attics, basements and closets now. Bring your useable, unwanted items to the Conant school (the drop) where other residents can come and take them (the swap), thus reusing items and reducing the town’s trash output. We will also have Bikes not Bombs, Big Brother Big Sister, and HGRM on site to take away your additional or unclaimed items. When you are done at Conant drive around the block and drop your hazardous waste at the transfer station.

Here’s what you can bring:

Drop/Swap will accept furniture, electronics, small household items, clothes, books, toys, dishes and children’s equipment, such as, car seats, high chairs and strollers.

Bikes not Bombs will take bicycles in good condition ($10 per bike).

Big Brothers Big Sisters will take any of the above mentioned items that are not claimed at the swap area and items such as clothing, etc. that bypass the Drop/Swap area. also, they will take electronics including large items such as refrigerators (larger items will have a small fee).

Got Books will be accept books, CDs, DVDs and videos.
